Default settings generally look fine to me.

Anyone else tried out the app? I'm really not sure we'll be able to do anything in the app, if they don't significantly update it.

Considering we all have Android phones, a decent app should be a pretty high priority. If you all feel the same about the app, we could reconsider yahoo.

We also need to recruit a few more teams. I'd really like it if everyone made a decent effort to win their games. It's no fun to have a bye week against a player or doesn't even remove players on byes from their starting lineup.

To be fair, you can't do anything in the Yahoo app until your leage drafts either, if I remember correctly. We sort of decided on NFL.com as we'd be losing someone from last year if we went back to Yahoo.

I say lets get through the draft, see how the app is, and if it's so bad we can't take it, I can spin up a yahoo league and assign us the same rosters we draft through NFL.com.

I think the problem right now is most of us can't even sign in to our account on the nfl app. I'm still good with the nfl league as I hope they get the bugs in the app worked out before the season starts.

I'm hoping they improve the app before the season kicks off. :(

Either way let's make this a fun year of football and smack talkin'.

Since I don't know everyone's first (real) names, reply in here with your team name and I'll update the OP with them.

Draft date suggestions? We'll avoid the 22-25th. What's everyone's preference on time of day and/or day of week?

Lets hope the app gets at least a little better before we need it. Staff league stayed on yahoo (thankfully) so I will me comparing the 2 all year.
Just wanted to quote myself so NA could see this lol. :smokingsomb:

Yea... I totally missed that :p

Didn't I mop up the floor with you last year though? ;);)

id love to join in on the fun, but i havent a clue what you mean about the draft etc.... i shall do a little research and see if ill be able to join in :)

if its just pick some players and the app does the rest, i should be fine!

and i should be the one who is being slagged off etc for losing! lol

You should-if you enjoy the NFL it makes the games even more enjoyable to watch. So many factors too(weather, injuries, ect.)
You would think the big names would guarantee a win but not also the case. Look at Tom Brady going down with an injury early before.
Time to research my sleepers;)

Best sleeper I ever picked up was Mike Vick for the Eagles. When he came in due to an injury I picked him up, then he became the starter and he single handedly won some games for me! In fact that was in this league and the reason I made the playoffs 2 years ago :D

Would you guys have a problem with a complete noob joining? I've wanted to do FF for a while, but never had a chance to do it.
If you are going to spend at least a few minutes each week to set up your roster for the coming week, no problem here.

All I really ask for is that people keep an eye on their roster, pick up replacements for injured players and have a lineup each week with all players who are actually playing that week.

From what I saw on the app, their is an"injured" list, does this mean the app will point out all players who ate injured, I defo want to join up now the more I look into it!

As lexluthor said, as long as people are willing to put in the effort to make sure they set a competitive roster each week, then we'd be glad to have you!

It's addictive once you join - you'll be scouring the news reports on ESPN for who's hot this week and who's hurt. ;)

I'll send you a PM with the info!

FYI - imnotmikal and trentreznor also IMd me about joining, so with the returning players who wanted back in, this should bring us up to 12.

I'm glad to see an add on tv for google plus hangouts with nfl.com fantasy. I really hope I'm not working during the draft, I would love to do a hangout during the draft!

I just hope the app gets better. I rarely ever touch my computer. I use my phone and iPad for everything. The android app is unusable right now and there is no iPad app... Don't worry, if I have to I'll open a laptop weekly though. I'm winning it all this year!!
